Galba

When Nero had committed suicide in 68 AD the Julio Claudian line of emperors
and the race of Caesar came to an inglorious end. The senate and the
praetorians immediately proclaimed an old man named Servius Sulpicius
Galba as Emperor of Rome. Galba was one of the most powerful men in
Rome, the last member of a wealthy and influential family for over 300
years. According to Tacitus Galba was "free of vices rather than
distinguished by virtues." After only a few months of ruling Rome he was
considered too incompetent, and a man named Otho marched into Rome with
legions from the Rhine River. Galba was murdered and Otho took his
place.
